SENATOR SANTORUM WARNED US:
Foolish me, I thought everything was already illegal in California. Uncle Horn Head points to a story of one they had missed:
Foolish me, I thought everything was already illegal in California. Uncle Horn Head points to a story of one they had missed:
Having sex with corpses is now officially illegal in California after Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill barring necrophilia.... "Prosecutors didn't have anything to charge these people with other than breaking and entering. But if they worked in a mortuary in the first place, prosecutors couldn't even charge them with that".... The new law makes sex with a corpse a felony punishable by up to eight years in prison.Now isn't this a classic victimless crime? Certainly, the corpse won't be complaining to anyone. In fact, it won't even have any objection. I know, some will say the body belongs to some living relative. But in that case, this is just a case of unauthorized misuse of personal property. Do we make vandalism a felony that gets eight years in the pen? Actually, the sentence might be ever harsher in practice. Would a self-respecting burglar want a cellmate who was convicted of this?
